Frictionless Framework

Frictionless Framework is a free, open-source Python framework for describing, extracting, validating, and transforming tabular data. It can infer, edit, and save metadata such as table descriptions and field types, then validate tables, resources, and datasets and produce configurable reports. For data preparation, it can clean, reshape, and transfer data through pipeline and lower-level interfaces. It is available as a Python library and a command-line interface, and requires Python 3.8 or later. Supported formats include CSV, Excel, JSON, and SQL; CSV, Excel, and JSON are available by default. Its pluggable architecture supports custom checks and formats, as well as compressed files. The AWS plugin can read from and write to S3, while the CKAN portal feature can load and publish packages from a CKAN data management system. The Frictionless Framework plan costs nothing; installation is with pip. The software is distributed under the MIT License, whose terms permit use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale. The license provides no warranty.
